Back in the old days, it was understood that reporters were supposed to hunt down stories and seek out hidden truths. There was even a name for it. A good reporter was said to have a nose for news.
So what happened? How did we reach the point where journalists presented with a major scandal -- an almost self-evident abuse of power -- just yawn and turn away?
Instead of expressing curiosity about why the Bidens had been the subject of a criminal investigation in Ukraine, reporters fell into lockstep with the Democrats’ impeachment narrative. Everywhere you turned for the last two weeks, whenever a reporter was talking about Biden at all, it was to talk about how he was being maligned by Trump, that he had been cleared of any wrongdoing, that the claim that he had gotten a prosecutor fired to protect his son was a “debunked conspiracy theory.”
When you asked who cleared Biden, you got no answer except the news media themselves. When you asked who debunked the claim that Biden had pressured the Ukrainian president to fire the prosecutor by threatening to withhold aid, you got no response except that other European countries also wanted the prosecutor fired (as if that proved anything). When the president stymied the impeachment narrative by releasing the transcript compiled by national security officials who listened in on the offending phone call, which proved that the whistleblower was actually blowing smoke, the media circled the wagons. The Washington Post created its own conspiracy theory that up to two-thirds of the call between Trump and Zelensky had mysteriously been elided into non-existence. I debunked that far-left conspiracy theory myself, but hardly any mainstream reporter seems interested in looking at the facts.

The mass media are leftist propaganda organs.
They have nothing to offer but lies.
The woke zombies infiltrated what used to be a great profession. All that remains is hysterical screaming.
Yep, all spouting the same lies, not an independent though among them, very stupid people.
Is there no TRUTH Seeker?
Are they all corrupt?
It there no one with enough courage and love of TRUTH to speak TRUTH?
Where are the crusading TRUTH Seekers of the past?
Are all of them so suffused with mendacity that TRUTH no longer has any meaning for them?
Do they not care?
Are all American journalists so perverted by moral rot and decay that they have lost all desire for TRUTH?
In the Godfather movie, the godfather asks about contacting a reporter they own. I image the DNC does the same thing.
Contact Chris Wallace etc etc etc....
Chris Plante today had an excellent metaphor for the leftist press:
they jump on stories that might harm democrats like a soldier falling on a grenade.
Iowahawk’s David Burge said it best: “Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.”
Plante is great. I listen to him every day.
IIRC, he may have said something like, “the media cover stories like the pillow that covered Scalia’s face.”
Hmmmm. Didn't know that they hid Big Mike's documents, too.
